RE: The Posh v The Owls PO SF 1st Leg - Statesideowl - 16-05-2023
12 was a lot to lose but not too far outside the realm of reasonable.
17 losses though..
We'll be playing eachother again next season anyway.

The delusion is touching bursting point on social media !!! What we should be doing is having a mass f@cking riot in all stands but no the happy clappers will have you believe we should keep backing them pmsl ...
RE: The Posh v The Owls PO SF 1st Leg - Statesideowl - 17-05-2023
It is strange, most people were on the same page after that pathetic display. A display which mirrored other displays of apathy already witnessed this season.
Moore, unanimated and just watching on as goal after goal flies in,but nothing changes.
The lust for clinging on to statistics at this point is embarrassing and serves no purpose. As Moore says himself "What's gone is gone"
So the same applies to the good results as the bad results if you stop bullshitting
"but he got 96pts" "but he got 23 clean sheets" And now this pearl "Our home form is unbeatable this year"
We'll be lucky to draw on Thursday playing Darrenball.
This deluded thinking that something magical is going to happen lol
It already did, for Posh. They played the gift that keeps on giving and we gift wrapped them a trip to Wembley in the first leg; no second leg necessary. After we helped put them in said playoffs.. Imagine being on the receiving end of that type of magic. Not at S6, never at S6.
Moore lovers are driving me spare.
Then there's our great Chairman...
RE: The Posh v The Owls PO SF 1st Leg - Statesideowl - 18-05-2023
Fingers crossed the players at least put some pride on tonight's performance and win it 3-1 or something.
No miracles are happening, we aren't 'that team'.
We're dull, lifeless and barely able to execute the basics of Football.
I would hope Moore has found a way to neutralise their left and right backs bombing down the flanks when they attack.
They were the cause of 3 goals in the end, two from assists and one scored the deflected shot.
Sadly, I doubt Moore reviewed this or even alerted the players awareness to this danger.
It's likely he hasn't even noticed this himself.
It's easy for Ferguson tonight because we absolutely have to attack.
So his sit back and counter style by pushing the ball wide to the flanks will get behind our back 3 almost every time. Especially with Awful at the back.
This is the inevitability of being a poor tactician with no plan B or ability to make in game changes in real time as situations become visible..
His rigid 352 is too easy to dismantle.
The players aren't allowed to deviate from the holy shape meaning all the opposition needs to do is play into the areas where our players will not be due to the shape of the formation, this is why you often see us just backing off away from players
that are running at us with the ball lol (Watch Posh tonight making predictive forward passes into spaces in our half, knowing/expecting the player in that position to move backwards to keep 'the holy shape' rather than move forward to close the ball and opposition player down)
It is also why opposition players continually find so much space and easily get behind us down the flanks, how many times are we caught with just 3 at the back because the midfield isn't dropping deep to help?
His own tactics don't fit his own system. Resulting in a grind, every single game.
It's dumbfounding and I cannot believe the waggon is filling back up with 'More Moore' for another season.
We really are settling for and rewarding failure, mediocrity and lack of ambition.
Sunderland talking about sacking Mowbray because they didn't achieve back to back promotions.
Meanwhile we're rewarding this buffoon for back to back failures
Surely the gulf in ambition here between two Clubs that were in the same Playoffs last season should worry the fans but no, they want more??
RE: The Posh v The Owls PO SF 1st Leg - Imre varadi - 18-05-2023
Wrong stateside this is Moore's triplet of failures tonight including relegation the man should get a medal of some sort for this
RE: The Posh v The Owls PO SF 1st Leg - Statesideowl - 18-05-2023
It's getting exciting!
Only an hour left until we see the formation and team sheet.
No need to make any guesses.
RE: The Posh v The Owls PO SF 1st Leg - Maddix - 18-05-2023
If by some miracle we were to turn this round we still need to sack Moore
RE: The Posh v The Owls PO SF 1st Leg - Owlkev71 - 18-05-2023
Gregory, Smith, Windass and Paterson all start

But we'll still be keeping it tight for the first half hour
RE: The Posh v The Owls PO SF 1st Leg - Statesideowl - 18-05-2023
Of course, we've a 4 goal deficit to defend.
Moore will want the players to pass it backwards and then they will lose it blindly passing into midfield.
Doesn't look like Moore changed anything other than a slight permutation.
Just watch those same holes appear down the flanks I was taking about earlier.
Still hasn't learnt.. even after that humbling.
This is exactly why the mofo needs his P45 for breakfast tomorrow morning.
